The fortress here is the throat of the northern border of the empire. On the left and right sides of the fortress are snow-capped mountains that do not melt all year round. The rock walls are steep, and it is impossible to climb the snow-capped mountains by any means other than flying.
The harsh climate in the extreme north leads to the lack of resources here. The people living in the extreme north can only make a living by hunting.
The extreme north originally belonged to the empire, but the high taxation of the empire caused the extreme north to break away from the empire's control.
It is impossible for the people in the extreme north who are struggling on the line of food and clothing to afford that kind of tax, and it is inevitable to rise up.
The empire, which is located in the most fertile location in the center of the continent, of course cannot tolerate this happening, and sent a large army to suppress the extreme north.
In the eyes of the empire, the extreme north is just a remote place, and it can be easily defeated by sending hundreds of thousands of troops, and it can also deter other alien races.
But will the extreme northerners who live on hunting all year round be weak in combat effectiveness? of course not.
The 200,000 army dispatched by the empire collapsed within a month. The war of 30,000 against 200,000 seemed absurd, but the extreme north won a complete victory.
After this war, a key figure appeared in the extreme north: Numa Seka, known as the alien prince of the north, who has never been defeated with a long gun. He is a totem-like figure of the extreme north people and the leader of the extreme north army.
Only 70,000 of the empire's 200,000 troops survived, of which 130,000 were left forever in this frozen land.
This kind of loss is something that the empire has never suffered for hundreds of years. The young emperor of the empire was furious and sent 500,000 troops and the ace of the empire.
At this time, the empire's 500,000 troops were stationed in the 'Extreme North Fortress', but the situation was not as optimistic as expected.
The imperial soldiers who are accustomed to warm climates experienced attrition after arriving in the extreme north before starting the war.
Severe frostbite and severe cold are death-killers.
Although the medical conditions of the empire are well developed, they are not popular due to the stupidity of those in power, and only the top leaders of the empire can enjoy excellent and unexpected conditions.
Because of the existence of Teigu, the empire did not pay much attention to hot weapons, so the current war is still a collision of cold weapons. Of course, this is also related to the inaction of those in power.
In the eyes of the high-level empire, soldiers are just pawns that can be discarded when they are used up, and it is very 'inappropriate' to distribute expensive thermal weapons to them.
The 500,000 troops rushed to the extreme north, and no more than 200,000 were able to exert combat effectiveness, and this number is still decreasing as time goes by.
A group of soldiers in white winter coats were making routine inspections on the wall of the extreme northern frontier.
"This damn place is freezing cold. When can I go back?"
A soldier tightened his winter coat, but no matter how thick the winter coat was, it could not block the cold wind from the extreme north.
"Hurry up and finish patrolling this circle, and go back to the circle to keep warm. The entire city wall has been checked, and there are no omissions."
Another soldier spoke, this is a team of more than a dozen people.
"There seems to be someone under the fortress."
A soldier stood on the edge of the city wall and looked down.
"An alien race in the far north?"
"There's too much snow, I can't see clearly."
"I don't want to be a foreign race. Have you ever seen a foreign race wearing single clothes? This guy didn't freeze to death. His strength should not be weak. Call more people to investigate."
Several soldiers greeted the others and rushed out towards the city gate. They walked neatly and had high morale. They did not dare to relax because they had a very strict general.
The city gate opened, and dozens of soldiers with long weapons rushed out of the fortress.
"who."
A soldier roared.
The wind and snow were raging, and in this cold temperature, people wore cool single clothes and exhaled white air.
"I don't know if the Extreme North Fortress is still recruiting. I am a traveler in the clouds."
The person came with short black hair and a long knife on his waist. Although the long knife is not gorgeous, it is not ordinary at first glance.
The little leader of the soldier pondered for a few seconds.
"Catch him first. He may be a spy of the Extreme Northern Army. Now is the time of war, and we must not relax."
The little boss roared, and hundreds of soldiers swarmed up, their feet crunching and creaking on the snow.
Surrounded by the crowd, Su Xiao frowned. Reincarnation Paradise did not provide his identity this time, so he could only use his identity as a traveler to cover up.
Su Xiao has already thought of an identity that fits his temperament very well, that will have to wait until he meets the leader of these soldiers.
"Sure enough, joining the imperial camp is not that simple."
Zhanlong flashed out, and Su Xiao was ready to face the imperial army.
"etc!"
A female voice came, and all the soldiers' movements stopped abruptly, and their bodies straightened subconsciously.
In the wind and snow, a figure in a white military uniform came. The style of the military uniform was a bit special and very sexy. This was a tall woman with blue hair hanging down her back and hanging down to her waist. In the cold extreme north, this woman's clothes are very cool. Judging from her attire, she should be a female general.
"what happened."
The female general's tone was not very good, as if she had encountered something unpleasant before.
"General Esdes, my subordinates may have discovered a spy from the Extreme Northern Army."
The little boss looked respectful, with his head bowed.
"Spy?"
Estes looked at Su Xiao.
"Ah it should be, the subordinates are just suspicious, after all, it is wartime."
The little boss gave Uncle Chen a complete account of the previous situation, without adding any personal emotions.
"It's a good job. Although we have regained the fortress, we can't relax."
"Thank you, General, for your compliment."
After being praised by Estes, the little boss was overjoyed, and stepped aside respectfully.
"Then, how should we deal with you, a 'spy of the Northern Army'?"
Esdes looked at Su Xiao with burning eyes, and pulled out the rapier from his waist.
"If I say that I am not a spy, you will not believe me."
"Heh~."
Esdest rushed forward with his sword, his figure was extremely agile.
Su Xiao's gaze became sharper, and he raised his hand to place Zhan Longshan in front of him.
Ding.
Sparks splashed Lao Gao, the knife and rapier intersected, and the snowflakes falling around were blown away by force.
"Interesting, actually blocked."
The corners of Esdeth's mouth were raised, and there seemed to be ice flames burning in his eyes. This is a shivering queen who is extremely excited when encountering a strong enemy.
"So, can this be blocked."
A row of ice blades appeared in front of Esdeth without warning, and the ice blades stretched rapidly, stabbing at Su Xiao.
At this time, Su Xiao was intersecting with Esdesi's blade, and the sudden appearance of the ice blade was in front of him in an instant.
Su Xiao's combat experience is so rich that he had already reacted the moment the ice blade first appeared.
The body was turned sideways, and the Dragon Slayer flashed in his hand, not only blocking the sharp sword of Estes, but also crushing the ice blades with the blade.
With a bang, the ice blade shattered and shards of ice scattered all over the sky.
Su Xiao kicked up a large amount of snow to cover Esdesh's sight, and kicked Esdesh's waist sideways.
boom.
Su Xiao felt a numbness in his calf, and he kicked on a hard object.
Click it.
Large cracks appeared on the ice wall beside Esdesh, which made Esdesh's face change slightly.
"This power"
Esdeth's expression became even more excited, she was eager to fight against a strong enemy, and now she met.
At this moment, a sharp blade broke through the snow, and the sharp edge made Estes dare not underestimate it.
Cannot be beheaded, otherwise you will have to pay a big price, and you may even die.
After making a judgment in his heart, a half-meter-thick ice wall was pulled up in front of Esdeth.
The ice wall rose, but Su Xiao's cutting blade did not stop.
Zheng.
The half-meter-thick ice wall was directly cut off, and Esdes had already taken the opportunity to retreat.
Estes folded his hands together, fingertips shining white light.
"Baibing shattered thorns."
Dozens of white icicles floated beside Esdeth, and these icicles were extremely sharp
